The 2nd largest Seniors organization, Association of Mature American Citizens (AMAC), has a proposal of how to cover 16 million patients' health care costs for free.
Simply offer doctors a tax deduction for treating a certain quota of patients for free.
AMAC founder Dan Weber gives the amazing back story details of how physicians were polled and asked what it would take to be willing to treat patients for free, and overwhelmingly they agreed to do so if they only could catch a break from the government, as in a tax break.

Teachers at two Chicago schools-Maria Saucedo Elementary Scholastic Academy and Thomas Drummond Elementary School-have voted to join a parent-led boycott of the Illinois Standards Achievement Test.
"Parents at Maria Saucedo Elementary Scholastic Academy and Thomas Drummond Elementary School are understandably frustrated by the fact that the Illinois Standards Achievement Test is unnecessary and irrelevant. The test is being administered only to fulfill a No Child Left Behind requirement, while more than half of states have sought waivers from such requirements. The test won't inform instruction or assess student or teacher performance.
